What's new

(Note that for Windows users we recommend uninstalling the previous version
before installing the new one.)
Mnemosyne 2.4 : 2016-12-05
-Upgraded all code to Python3 and PyQt5, so that Mnemosyne no longer
depends on libraries which are gradually becoming unsupported.
-The move to PyQt5 enabled to show progress bars with percentages for
certain long operations like initial sync.

()requested by acdenh). If you want literal [] in latex, use \left[
and \right].
-Fix crash when converting multiple cards at the same time between e.g.
Vocabulary card type and Map card type (reported by Gnome).
-No longer allow mass converting of cards to Cloze card types, as this
requires editing of the card content for each card anyhow (reported by Scott
Youngman).
-Fix browser crash occuring after deleting a card type which had custom
formatting (reported by Tom Zerlau).
-Unless the 'Prefill tag behaviour' plugin is active, changing card types will
never change the tag you already filled in, even if it's different from the
last used tag (reported by Gnome).
-When changing the font for '', make a more neutral choice
for default font in case currently different card types have different
fonts (reported by Gnome).
-Make sync and sync error handling more robust.

random order, earliest first, lastest first or most lapses first. Also,
you have the option of whether to save the scheduler state or not when exiting
the program.
-The way the tag field is prefilled for new cards is changed. By default, the
last used tag is used, regardless of card type. If you want the pre-2.2
behaviour, where the last used tag is remembered per card type, there is a
bundled plugin you can activate.
-When exporting to the 'cards' format, the latex files are now pregenerated
and bundled (requested by Mark).

Mnemosyne 2.0 : 2012-06-16
Four years in the making, this is essentially a complete rewrite of the old
1.x codebase, with a new, clean design, consisting of components that can be
swapped in and out very easily, which allows plugin writers maximum
flexibility.
Major user-visible changes:
-Support for what is called card types. The main user visible changes are that
editing a vice versa card or three sided card will automatically update the
related card. There is also support for N-sided cards.
-Whereas in Mnemosyne 1.x, a card could belong to only one category, now a
card can have multiple tags. Tags can also be organised in a hierachy, with
'::' separating the levels of the hierachy.
-Powerful new card browser, giving much more information and flexibility to
organise your cards.
-'Activate cards' is completely revamped and is much more flexible. Also, sets
of active cards can be now be saved for easier access later.
-Graphical statistics, easily extensible through plugins (first implementation
by Mike Appleby).
-Each individual field in a card can now have its own font, colour, ... which
can be set through the GUI. Background colour is also configurable per card
type.
-The widget that displays the cards is now a full webbrowser, with e.g.
support for Javascript, animated gifs, ... .
-Added cramming scheduler plugin, which goes through your cards in random
order and does not affect the normal scheduler data. It is visually
distinguished from the regular scheduler by having only two grade buttons
(Right and Wrong).
-Sync protocol, to synchronise a mobile device to your desktop client. Fully
bidirectional, i.e. you can add new cards on your desktop and review old
cards on your phone, and both sets of changes will be merged seamlessly.
Can sync with more than 1 partner. Optimised for speed and memory usage
on mobile devices. First implementation by Ed Bartosh and Max Usachev.
-Prototype webserver for reviews through a browser. Should be functional, but
contains no security and is not yet integrated with the GUI. Start the
mnemosyne-webserver executable and follow the instructions.
Other changes:
-Move from Qt3 to Qt4 as GUI toolkit, which has better performance and
eliminates many interface quirks.
-Move to SQL as the storage backend, resulting in improved speed and memory
usage, as well as better scalability for large decks (first implementation
by Ed Bartosh).
-Added card type for maps, and for cloze deletion.
-Plugins can now be turned on and off through the GUI.
-Windows use scroll bar when the data does not fit.
-When importing a sound or an image, a copy is made to the mnemosyne data
directory. This saves some confusing explaining to new users about the
difference between relative and absolute paths.
-Mnemosyne can now save after each reviewed card. Default is to only save after
10 reps, to save battery.
-Avoid showing the same card twice in a row during review.
-Replaced 'number of grade 0 cards to hold in your hand' by 'number of non
memorised cards to hold in your hand', so that the limit now works on the
total of grade 0 and 1 cards. Default value is 10.
-Warn if the user memorises over 15 new cards in a session.
-The keyboard shortcuts for the reviewing process no longer auto-repeat.
-Added option to control whether media (sound/video) gets started automatically
when displaying a card (Currently not on Windows due to Qt bug).
-Added option to display a media control (play/pause/slider) (Currently not on
Windows due to Qt bug).
-Improved backup scheme. Users can now restore from backups using the
File - Open menu, as opposed to first decompressing a file outside of
Mnemosyne.
-Importing from XML files has been sped up considerably (Johannes Baiter)
-The learning history is now stored in an SQL database, allowing to calculate
more statistics.
-The plugin mechanism encompasses also the statistics, configuration and card
activation screens.
-Cards which are failed during learning ahead are now periodically brought
back in the learning process.
-Mnemosyne now stores its data in a more standards compliant location:
C:/Users/peter/Application Data/Mnemosyne under Windows, and
/home/pbienst/.local/share/mnemosyne and /home/pbienst/.config/mnemosyne
under Linux.
-When leaving the program open overnight, the display will update at the
roll over point.
-Intelligent sorting of categories containing numbers, so that you no longer
have to call a category 'Lesson 01' instead of 'Lesson '1 to get the correct
ordering (Mike Appleby).
Mnemosyne 1.2.2 : 2010-01-29
-Added support for Tim Bourke's Mnemogogo plugin, which enables you
to review cards on Java-based phones. See
http://www.tbrk.org/software/mnemogogo.html
-fix rare hang in preprocessing paths (reported by LooM).
-Remove hidden limit on grade 1 cards.
-Italian translation by Enrico Leoni.

to override the prioritised scheduling introduced in Mnemosyne 1.1.
This plugin can also be downloaded from
http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/node/142

-Updated Japanese translation by Patrick Kenny.
MNEMOSYNE 1.1 : 2008-07-26
-Added statistics for the current card to the statistics window.
-More features for plugin writers. Arbitrary code can now be run after the
database is loaded, as well as code to intercept and modify question and
answer strings before they are displayed. There is a plugin directory in
the source distribution with examples, e.g. to activate all the categories
on startup, or to add the last grade to the answer text, or to add a new
import file format (CSV in this case), or to create custom tags and run
its contents in an external program.
-New cards can either be learned in random order or in the order that they
were added (configurable through the GUI).
-Prioritise cards forgotten during the review over cards which have not yet
been committed to long-term memory.
-Improved scheduling of overdue cards, by placing those with a shorter
interval first. Being a day late on an interval of 2 could be much worse
than being a day late on an interval of 50.
-Fix some keyboard shortcut quirks (reported by Stephen Boulet and varkhan1).
-Removed pyxml dependency. This fixes the "'module' object has no attribute
'DefaultHandler'" error message on Ubuntu (Albert Damen).

grades 0 or 1, as a (Py)Qt bug seems to make it unreliable under Windows
(reported by Bernhard Blum).
MNEMOSYNE 1.0.1 : 2008-03-16
-Make grade 0 the keyboard default for cards with previous grades 0 or 1.
-Add support for html style escaped unicode in txt import, to allow import
of Supermemo databases containing unicode (requested by Patrick Kenny).
-Support import of Supermemo for Palm databases that were converted to XML
by smconv.pl from http://smconvpl.sourceforge.net (code by Felix Engel).
-Make import of tab delimited files more robust (reported by nairbv).
-Added new option in config.py (backups_to_keep) to be able to change the
number of daily backups to keep. Set to -1 for no limit (requested by
Patrick Kenny).
-Added new option in config.py (day_starts_at) to be able to change the
moment a new day starts (requested by Patrick Kenny).
-On Windows, log errors to a file in the user's directory, as opposed to a
file in a system directory (requested by nairbv).
-Visually distinguish grades 0 and 1 from other grades (based on input
from Juan Alonso and Mike Charlton.)
-Czech translation (cs) by Jiri Popelka and Petr Tomica.
-Chinese translation (zh_CN, zh_HK, zh_SG, zh_TW) by Leon Goo.
-French translation (fr) by Jamshid Bahar.
MNEMOSYNE 1.0 : 20071227
-Mnemosyne can now be run from a USB drive. Copy the Mnemosyne directory
from C:\Program Files to your USB drive, and then copy the .mnemosyne
directory from inside your home directory to inside the Mnemosyne directory
on the USB drive. Alternatively, you can start mnemosyne with the -d option
to specify where .mnemosyne directory is located, e.g.
F:\Mnemosyne\mnemosyne.exe -d F:\.mnemosyne
To run the Linux version from a USB key, untar the source file
mnemosyne-X.X.tgz (with X.X the version number) to the USB key. Copy your
.mnemosyne directory to the USB key as well. Change to the directory where
the USB key is mounted and type
PYTHONPATH=mnemosyne-X.X python mnemosyne-X.X/mnemosyne/pyqt_ui/mnemosyne -d .
(This assumes that the system you are working on has Python installed, as
well as all the libraries Mnemosyne requires.)
-new logo, thanks to a contributor whose name sadly got lost in the
demise of the open-collab site.
-new icons, based on the Crystal iconset.
-added tip of the day wizard.
-implemented a basic plugin system. The directory .mnemosyne/plugins
can contain Python scripts which will be executed at run time and
which can be used to customise Mnemosyne or add new features.
-when importing from tab separated txt files, the presence of 3 columns
on a line gives results in the import of 3-sided cards (written form /
pronunciation / translation).
-choosing 'reset learning data' on export now preserves the relationship
between cards (for e.g. inverses and three-sided cards).
-automatically back up the database to XML on exit. The last five backups
are kept in .mnemosyne/backup.
-support for multiple sound tags per field (requested by compiu).
-removed a few rarely used options from the configuration dialog and
placed them in .mnemosyne/config.py, a new file which can be used to
set these and other rarely used options.
-increase the maximum value of 'increase size of non-latin characters'
to 200 (requested by Mike Charlton).
-make 'increase size of non-latin characters' more robust (Nils Kriha).
Previously, not all values of this setting would result in a visible
change.
-don't count inactive cards in the grade distribution in the statistics
window (reported by Joonatan Kaartinen).
-add support for translations. (German translation provided by Martin Mueller,
Spanish by Daniel Alvarez Wise and Juan Alonsa, Dutch by Edwin de Jong)
The translation will be chosen automatically based on your system's
localisation, but can be overridden by editing the 'locale' variable in
.mnemosyne/config.py.
-improved tooltips.
-added desktop file, so that Mnemosyne shows up in the application menu
under Linux.
-more verbose error messages when an import failed, showing the line that
failed to parse.
-log uploading now works if a proxy is needed to access the web.
-added support for Unicode filenames.
-recreate user id from history folder in case the config file was
accidentally deleted.
-don't exit when final save failed (requested by lebowski_404).
-added more supported sound and picture formats.
-don't stumble over (invalid) unicode in latex commands (reported by Tomek
Guzialek).
-fixed 'Save as' option.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.10 : 2007-10-28
-added 3-sided cards, to make dealing with vocabulary in foreign scripts
easier. Right clicking the text field in 'add cards' gives you to option
to switch to 3-sided card input, which replaces the question and answer
fields by 3 fields: written form, pronunciation, translation. After
selecting an initial grade, 2 cards will be added:
Q: written form
A: pronunciation
translation
and
Q: translation
A: written form
pronunciation
-when creating multiple cards from the same data (either through add vice
versa or the 3-sided input), the relationship between these cards is now
stored. In a future version, this will make it possible that editing one
card of the set automatically updates the other ones.
-added feature to insert an image or a sound tag by using a file selector.
Accessed through popup-menu or keyboard shortcuts.
-remember more settings across invocations: file formats and directories,
reset learning data, column width and sorting order, ...
-rationalised keyboard shortcuts and menus. Added list of keyboard shortcuts
to the website.
-polished file dialogs.
-when possible, paths in the config file are now saved relative to the
.mnemosyne directory rather than as absolute paths. This makes it easier
to copy the .mnemosyne directory back and forth between a Linux and a
Windows machine.
-respect duplicate handling configuration options when importing (reported
by lebowski_404).
-latex output and error messages are now written to the file
.mnemosyne/latex/latex_out.txt rather than to the screen, so that they
are not lost for Windows users.
-fixed bug when showing the statistics for an empty database (reported by
Gintautas Miliauskas).
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.9 : 2007-08-16
-added 'Show statistics' menu option, showing the schedule for the
next week, the distribution of the items over the grades and the number
of items for each category.
-added simple per-item statistics in pop-up menu in 'edit items'.
-performance improvements.
-new latex tags, based on code by Christopher Gilbreth and bug reports by
Jamned:
-&lt$>...&lt/$> : for inline equations
-&lt$$>...&lt/$$> : for centered equations on a separate line
-&ltlatex>...&lt/latex> : for latex code not in a certain environment
This means that the functionality of the old &ltlatex>...&lt/latex> tags is
now taken over by &lt$>...&lt/$>. However, there is no need to update your
items, as you can rely on the following new feature:
-don't abort on small latex errors which the latex interpreter can fix
itself (like missing $) (requested by S. Scharrer).
-the preamble and postamble used when processing the latex tags can now
be customised by editing the files 'preamble' and 'postamble' in
&lthome dir>/.mnemosyne/latex.
-the command invoking dvipng to create images from latex can now be
customised by editing the file 'dvipng' in &lthome dir>/.mnemosyne/latex
-remember category and vice-versa settings across invocations when adding
items.
-add maximise button to add and edit items under Windows (thanks to
pizzasource and S. Scharrer).
-respect setting 'number of grade 0 items to learn at once' to zero
(reported by pizzasource).
-fix word wrap when using left alignment (reported by TomC).
-don't abort when sound initialisation fails.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.8.1: 2007-04-23
-fix scheduling bug when importing new grade 0 items (reported by Jim
Slattery).
-remove incorrect statement with respect to grade 2 behaviour from the
manual. In 0.9.8, the code was changed to be consistent with the old
manual. This has been reverted, so that grade 2 behaviour is again more
like 0.9.7.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.8: 2007-04-13
-added sound support through tags like &ltsound src="a.wav">. The path to
the sound file is either absolute or relative to the location of your
.mem file. To play the sound again, press the 'R' key in the main window.
Supported file formats are wav, ogg and mp3. On Linux, this requires
properly installing pygame and its dependencies like SDL.
-add option to increase size of non-latin characters relative to latin
characters (together with N. Kriha).
-disable 'edit item' as long as the answer is not shown, to prevent
accidentally revealing it (patch by D. Herrmann).
-fix handling of &lt inside latex tags (reported by jgurling, patch by N.
Kriha).
-warn when exiting an 'Add items' which contains an item which has not
been added (requested by Airconditioning).
-fix UTF-8 handling in the Supermemo7 file format (reported by Loco)
-fix corner cases in scheduling algorithm (patch by Querido).
-make button ordering more consistent in add items (reported by N. Kriha).
-fixed handling of multiple latex tags (reported by M. Boespflug).
-don't hang on latex errors (reported by M. Boespflug).
-make tab-separated import resistant to the presence of multiple tabs
(reported by J. Forrez).
-fixed hang when end quotes are not present inside a tag.
-fixed regression where the active flag of categories was not respected on
import (reported by A. Rachmatullah).
-respect left align option in 'preview items' (reported by E. Grannan).
-making saving more robust while Windows is shutting down (fix by Tom).
-various small interface cleanups and fixes.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.7: 2006-10-27
-multiple items can now be selected in the 'edit items' dialog in order
to delete them, change their categories, or add their vice versas.
-added option to import text files where question and answer are each on
their own line.
-again respect window size set by user.
-make delete button work in 'edit items' dialog (reported by J. Forrez).
-worked around oddity (extra first character in text file) when importing
Word unicode text files.
-various small interface cleanups and fixes.
-updated documentation on the website.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.6: 2006-10-07
-added LaTeX support for formulas, e.g. &ltlatex>x^2+y^2=z^2&lt/latex>. For
this you need latex and dvipng installed. Windows users can download
MiKTeX. (thanks to input from Henrik Skov Midtiby and J. David Lee.)
-added possibility to preview an item. Useful if you work with tags.
-added import from SuperMemo7 text files (code thanks to Dirk Herrmann).
-either space, enter or return can be used to show the answer. The default
answer grade is set to 4, which once again can be chosen by either space,
enter or return (patch by Dirk Herrmann).
-importing of txt files in utf8 unicode encoding now works (patch by Ian
MacLean).
-exporting to txt files now uses utf8 encoding.
-the total number of items in the status bar now only takes into account
items in active categories (patch by Mike Charlton).
-prevent infinite recursion when searching for an item that was recently
deleted.
-the titlebar now displays unicode filenames correctly.
-after the window expands to accomodate a large item, it will shrink
back again.
-fixed incorrect button text when switching databases.
-new grade 0/1 items will now be scheduled after existing grade 0/1 items.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.5: 2006-08-03
*** IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE ***
This version uses a different database format. Before upgrading, export your
old data as xml. After upgrade, create a new database and import the old data
from the xml file.
-databases can now be moved back and forth between Windows and Unix.
-added 'Reset learning data on export' option. This makes it easier to
create a file to share with other people.
-the database is now saved each time a new item is added.
-fixed a bug where exporting to txt always exported all categories
(reported by Dariusz Laska).
-items which you forget will no longer be pushed out of the revision queue
by items which you still need to learn.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.4: 2006-06-04
- category names are now sorted alphabetically.
- relative path names now work for multiple img tags in the same string.
(patch by J. David Lee).
- removed leftover debug code which could cause problems with Unicode
items.
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.3: 2006-05-25
- relative paths can now be used in img tags, i.e. &ltimg src="foo/bar.png">
instead of &ltimg src="/home/johndoe/.mnemosyne/foo/bar.png">. Paths are
relative to the location of the *.mem file.
- added ability to export to a txt file (only the questions and the
answers are exported).
- added locking mechanism which warns you if you start a second
instance of the program, which could lead to data loss.
- fixed obscure button labelling bug (patch by J. David Lee).
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.2: 2006-03-25
*** IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE ***
This version uses a different database format. Before upgrading, export your
old data as xml. After upgrade, create a new database and import the old data
from the xml file.
- only a limited number of grade 0 items is moved to the learning queue
at a single time. This is 5 by default, but can be set through the
configuration screen
- added ability to import from tab separated text files (as exported e.g.
by Excel)
MNEMOSYNE 0.9.1: 2006-02-09
- fixed bug where an item would get asked twice after editing
- fixed bug when using the popup menu on an empty spot
